There are two critical dimensions to Christ as the Life. He is the Resurrection (victory over physical death) and the Life (victory over spiritual death).

The promise of the resurrection is a glorious promise of a bright future, but no more glorious than the blessing of the human body in the first place. You can’t fully appreciate the wonder of resurrection without appreciating the wonder of the body today. One of the primary reasons for the creation of the earth and the heavens, one of the central purposes of God’s plan for all His children is to receive the incomprehensible blessing of a physical body. A body is a major step toward godliness.

Because of their rebellion before the world began, Satan and those who followed him are deprived of physical life, deprived of a body forevermore. They will never know physical life, but they can do much to desecrate and destroy it so that others may be as miserable as they.

“He is not here: for he is risen.” Those angelic words may be the most important words, the most beautiful words uttered anytime, anywhere, by anyone ever.

This was victory, final and complete, unimaginable victory over death. “O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?” Nowhere!

In this episode of Handmaidens, Harems and Heroines, Lynne Hilton Wilson explores Jeremiah 1–22, opening a powerful window into the life and prophetic calling of Jeremiah. From the very beginning of his ministry, Jeremiah is given a daunting commission to speak truth to a people who have turned away from the Lord. Along the way, Lynne highlights the often-overlooked women and feminine imagery woven throughout Jeremiah’s message—including images of daughters, mothers, wives, brides, and Jerusalem as a woman whose covenant relationship with God has been broken.Lynne also examines Jeremiah’s famous Temple Sermon, his courageous warnings to Jerusalem, and the persecution he endured for delivering an unpopular message. What can Jeremiah’s experiences teach us about standing faithful when others reject the truth? And what happens when kings and leaders refuse to listen? The episode concludes with the condemnation of King Zedekiah and the consequences of Judah’s continued rebellion. Join Lynne as she uncovers the women, warnings, covenant imagery, and powerful testimony of the Messiah found in Jeremiah 1–22.#Jeremiah #OldTestament #BibleStudy #WomenInScripture #HandmaidensHaremsAndHeroines #LynneHiltonWilson #Jeremiah #TempleSermon #JesusChrist #ScriptureCentral

Who really belongs to God’s covenant people? Isaiah 58–66 takes us on a sweeping journey from fasting and Sabbath worship to the coming Messiah, the redemption of Zion, and visions of a restored heaven and earth. In this powerful concluding section of Isaiah, we discover that covenant belonging is about far more than ancestry—it is reflected in how we turn to God, keep His covenants, care for others, and welcome His redeeming presence into our lives.Join Lynne Hilton Wilson as she explores the women, imagery, and profound spiritual teachings woven throughout these chapters. What does God actually want from us when we fast? Why does Isaiah connect the Sabbath with delight and covenant identity? How does Isaiah describe the Messiah and His mission to save and restore? And what can Isaiah’s breathtaking visions of Zion and cosmic restoration teach us about God’s ultimate plan for His children?As Isaiah looks toward a day when God will gather His people, rebuild Zion, and create “new heavens and a new earth,” we are invited to consider one of scripture’s most important questions: Who belongs to God’s covenant people—and how can we become part of that covenant community?Discover the promises of Isaiah 58–66 and see how these ancient prophecies point us toward Jesus Christ, covenant belonging, Zion, and the ultimate restoration of all things.
